W. W. Norton & Company The Annotated Alice: 150th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

I had bought a paperback edition of The Annotated Alice in 1972! It’s a much-thumbed copy now as I’ve dipped into it every now and then over all these years. I found out about this 150th year edition by chance and bought it. This is a beautiful hard back edition with drawings by Tenniel (I’m sorry but I cannot accept anyone else’s!). So many new notations and explanations. I love it!

Redescobri a Alice com essa edição e me apaixonei ainda mais.

A luxurious edition of Gardner's classic volume that presents and accompanies Carroll's immortal stories, enriched with superb-quality reproductions of Tenniel's woodcut illustrations - and, of course, filled with hundreds of Gardner's notes on Carroll and the history of Alice and her adventures. (It will probably feel most welcome when placed on the shelf next to Gardner's companion volume, "More Annotated Alice"!)

これは、仕掛け絵本と、不思議の国のアリス&鏡の国のアリスとが、混在しているようですが 私に届いたのは、後者の方でした。(値段が高い=仕掛け絵本のようです。)良かった。 持ち歩きには、不便ですか、注釈が豊富で、じっくり楽しめます。 追記 (2021年) 久しぶりに、英米文学の原文を読もうとしましたが、自分がどのレベルにいるのか、分からずとりあえず、本書を読み始めました。(日本語訳は読んでいたので。) 10ページすぎたあたりから､読むのが楽しくなりました。 およそ100年前の物語なので､ジーニアス英和辞典の他に、研究社新英和辞典を使って、読んでいます。 もう､英検を受験する気はないので、これからは、リーディングを極めたい､と思っています。 私は、不思議の国のアリスの原文のレベルは、大学1年生程度と、考えています。

Alice's Adventures In Wonderland has captured so many of our hearts and minds for so long because it's just so original. There's always more than meets the eye in Wonderland and in the story itself. Since I was a child I've loved this story, and Through The Looking Glass, as it embraces weird, it embraces difference and individuality and it gives us so many wonderful life lessons and unique perspectives, as well as humour and poetry and those unforgettable characters. This 150th edition contains the most thorough analysis of this story possible, and all the illustrations from various artists are so lovely. Like most other 20 year olds I also love Harry Potter, mainly because of the intricate world, the references, the detail and connections to our own world. The same is true for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and getting to see through Lewis/Charles' eyes at what captured his interest and went into his story is fascinating. A lot of us won't be well acquainted with what it was like in the world at the time he wrote this story, so it makes the story just come to life even more to know all the context of poetry and references. It contains the full story and John Tenniel's illustrations, but with extra, extra, extra content too! If you just want to read the story, this isn't for you really. But if you don't mind a quite big, heavy book, with annotations accompanying the story on each page, then this in depth book is perfect. I'm going to have so much fun reading it all in detail, and if you buy it, I hope you will too. (Note: my book did come with the top of the cover a little bent over, but laying it flat on its front sorted that, Otherwise perfect condition and fast delivery.)

Llego a tiempo, la calidad es increíble tanto en papel como en impresión, solo tuve la mala suerte de que me lo mandaron sin emplayar, solo lo metieron a una caja, tenia manchas y rayones pequeños debido a la manipulación en el envió
